Career in Veterinary Sciences
Veterinarians, in simple words, are doctors who diagnose and prescribe treatment for animals of all kinds — domesticated, wild. Much like human medical care, veterinary science is a demanding science and provides with the satisfaction of contributing to animal’s quality of life. In veterinary science, one covers concepts similar to that of medical science but with focus on animals instead of humans.

JOB OPPORTUNITIES AND SALARIES
TOP RECRUITING COMPANIES
If you are really passionate about animals as an individual, an animal lover, this might be a fulfilling career for you. As animals cannot express their pain, a veterinary doctor has to evaluate the problem himself by noting behaviours, symptoms or taking history from the owner of the pet. It is a job that requires a lot of dedication and is not at all a glamorous job. One can specialize in treating domestic to wild to habitat specific animals, as one pleases.
